Answer

Objects B and C repel each other.

Work Step by Step

Objects A and B attract each other which means that object A and object B are oppositely charged. Objects A and C also attract each other which means that object A and object C are also oppositely charged. Which implies that object B and object C are charged with the same polarity. And as we know that like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other. Therefore, object B and object C repel each other.
